Oleksandr Kotenko

Newington,CT

Summary

My career goal is to become a successful lineworker, and completing this program would greatly advance both my career and personal objectives. I am a hardworking and determined individual with a strong drive to succeed. My dedication is evident from my experience in landscaping and construction, where I have consistently worked hard to achieve success from a young age.

I am mechanically inclined, as shown by my ability to service and repair my own equipment and truck, and I have a solid understanding of tools and machinery. Additionally, I am a member of the Newington Volunteer Fire Department, where I perform various tasks such as climbing and working from tall ladders and bucket trucks in all weather conditions. I have a good amount of pole climbing experience and have done basic tasks such as constructing crossarms. This experience has equipped me to work under stress and make tough decisions in challenging situations.
I hold OSHA-10 General Industry Safety and Health and Construction cards, along with CPR and Stop the Bleed certifications, which reflect my comprehensive knowledge of First Aid and common workplace medical incidents. I also have wire guarding experience from Maverick Construction, where I have been called to work during storms as a wire guard. In this role, I have completed required safety courses related to electrical hazards and am skilled in identifying primary, secondary, and cable lines.
